1 definition by flat activist
A type of surgery that is done to rebuild the shape of the chest wall after one or both breasts are removed. An aesthetic flat closure may also be done after removal of a breast implant that was used to restore breast shape. During an aesthetic flat closure, extra skin, fat, and other tissue in the breast area are removed. The remaining tissue is then tightened and smoothed out so that the chest wall appears flat.

After considering all of my reconstructive options, I decided that I didn't want implants or autologous reconstruction - I chose to get an aesthetic flat closure.
